BTW, this is a week or two ago, but remember how the new Sec of State used his regular corporate email when he was CEO of Exxon Mobil, except when he was discussing climate change? He had a different email, with a pseudonym for that?

QuoteExxon Mobil Corp. acknowledges it lost months worth of communications from an alias email account that former CEO Rex Tillerson used to discuss climate change.

An attorney for the oil giant explained Tuesday in a letter to a New York state court, filed as part of a climate fraud investigation, that emails from Tillerson's secondary account, which used the pseudonym "Wayne Tracker," went missing as a result of a "unique issue." The lawyer said the account was exempted from a "file sweep" that prevents emails from being automatically deleted - an issue “limited to the Wayne Tracker account.”

Tillerson, whose middle name is Wayne, retired from Exxon in December after 41 years with the company. He has refused to admit the company knew about climate change decades ago.

Yes, everybody at Exxon that communicated with "Wayne Tracker" knew it was the CEO's cover when discussing climate change (which E/M had no idea they might be linked to!). But oddly enough, nobody thought to archive those emails, unlike every other email at Exxon Mobil. Huh. Bummer, judge.

QuoteExxon attorneys acknowledged in Tuesday’s letter that emails for a full year prior to September 2015 originally were believed to have disappeared, but a second search recovered all but about three months worth.

Three months worth of subpoenaed emails about climate change from the CEO of Exxon Mobil have ...disappeared.
